Please reduce the load time of the Logos desktop app for PC. Its boot time currently exceeds the combined startup duration of Visual Studio and Adobe Photoshop.
What sort of startup time are you seeing?
21 seconds
@Graham Criddle
Logos PC: After a reboot, the first launch, 21 seconds. Subsequent launches, 5 seconds.
Logos Web: Open Microsoft Edge and load Logos Web bible, 5 seconds.
Visual Studio 2026: Open VS and load a project, 7 seconds
Adobe Photoshop 2026: Open PS and load an image, 8 seconds
Intel Core i7-1355U, 32GB RAM, 1GB SSD, Windows 11 25H2
@Graham Criddle just wondering, how long does Logos take to load the first time after a reboot on your computer?
Hi @HeIsWithUs
just wondering, how long does Logos take to load the first time after a reboot on your computer?
I've just checked this and, according to the Logos log, it took 17.5 seconds
2025-11-08 20:24:22.2795 INFO 2 StartupUtility | Finished startup at 17.47s.
Looking at the log activity, there are some things that take a significant part of those 17.5 seconds, such as:
2025-11-08 20:24:14.1994 INFO 13 SyncManager
Starting sync manager thread.
2025-11-08 20:24:14.2003 INFO 13 StartupUtility
(1891ms) Startup step: StartPostSetFactoryServicesWork
2025-11-08 20:24:14.2013 INFO 33 SyncManager
Sync manager thread started.
But most of it is because Logos is starting a lot of processes, connecting to databases, etc.
For me, this amount of startup time does not cause any problems - it is rare I reboot my computer or restart Logos apart from for testing purposes - but I understand for others this may be a problem.
Microsoft Word opens in 1 second.
Sure - but is doing a lot less in the background.
Microsoft Windows 11 from off to login in 20 seconds.
You need to compare to a comparable program in terms of functionality and to acknowledge the degree of control the user has over load time in Logos, For example, in Logos what is the difference in load time if you open to a blank page vs. loading to a complex layout with several complex filters defined against the entire Bible? I agree that it would be nice to have Logos load faster but there are outstanding bugs, incomplete features, and additional features I would give higher priority to.

First let me say I really enjoy using Logos bible software but would enjoy it more if it offered more background color options other than three shades of gray, paper, and default. Why not give us some greens, blues, yellow…etc. Also why not have the capability to change individual backgrounds per screen. Example: I might…
I've been buying Logos packages for years, and sadly, since the shift toward a subscription‑based model, I no longer see a reason to pay or rent something that I will not own. I would really like to use the AI features, but they are tied to the subscription, which is disappointing. If I could use them with the “legacy”…
The static set of Reading Plans are insufficient and the ability to create our own custom reading plans is needed. Reading plans need to be self-created, customizable and sharable with others. A reading plan keeps one in the Word, but linear or sequential and fixed time-frames is not flexible enough. A reading plan should…
Hello, it would be nice, if I could only display the latest blog post on the starting page. Currently it shows 4 entries. Greetings Florian Reiser
I love the images we get on our dahsboard each day with Bible verses on. (Admittedly, I'm sometimes puzzled by the choice!) But when there's one I want to share, I find it's in my default translation which is often too formal. I'd like to be able to regenerate the image with a Bible version of my choice. I think I can…
